10 Modern Albums That Prove Psychedelia Is Alive And Well

MGMT's second album is often overlooked when compared to the band's more popular debut, but it deserves the most attention. Their experimentation never falls short, churning out classics of the genre such as "It's Working," "Someone's Missing," and the 12-minute opus "Siberian Breaks." 

Its sense of humor also expands on the self-seriousness of many psychedelic acts of the past. If you have songs devoted to musicians such as Brian Eno and Dan Treacy, it is necessary that you have a tongue-in-cheek quality. 

The musical density of the album turns up new idiosyncrasies with every listen, making for something always entertaining and without tediousness. The album reaches a conclusion with its titular track, which sums up the albums themes of narcissism and validity. Some may call this a departure, but the band has always dealt with the idea of honesty in music, all the way back to "Time to Pretend." And this album fully encapsulates the band's desire for honesty, reaching the final reward of applause.
